Alghanim Industries, also known as Kutayba Alghanim Group, has announced a major partnership with SpaceX’s Starlink. The agreement makes Alghanim an official global channel partner for the satellite internet provider.

Starlink, known as the world’s most advanced satellite internet network, uses a low-Earth orbit (LEO) constellation. This technology delivers high-speed, low-latency internet to remote areas. The goal is to eliminate connectivity gaps in cities, deserts, and at sea.

Through this agreement, Alghanim revealed the launch of a new tech venture called Sama X. This platform will serve as an authorized Starlink global reseller. It aims to provide Starlink services across the Middle East, North Africa, India, Turkey, Pakistan, and beyond.

Kutayba Y. Alghanim, Executive Chairman of Alghanim Industries, reported that the agreement marks a key step toward a borderless digital future. He stated that the company is committed to delivering “internet from space” to create opportunities on Earth.

Starlink operates a constellation of over 7,000 LEO satellites. Since 2020, SpaceX has launched more satellites than all competitors combined. The network supports over 5 million users in more than 118 countries. Unlike traditional systems, Starlink satellites orbit closer to Earth, which reduces latency and allows real-time online experiences.

The service supports many industries, including:

• Healthcare: Enables telemedicine in rural clinics
• Education & Jobs: Connects students and workers in remote areas
• Maritime: Powers internet access on vessels worldwide

In addition, it helps manufacturers with real-time data and assists telecom firms in expanding networks.

Sama X was created to support this vision. Mahmoud Samara, CEO of Alghanim Industries, announced that Sama X would offer a full-service solution. This includes customer onboarding, installation, activation, and local support.

Samara added that the company is building a more connected and inclusive future. He noted that Starlink’s technology can support remote learning, cloud-based businesses, and telehealth services.

The new service is already taking shape in the region. Starlink has received approvals in Jordan, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, and Yemen. In Saudi Arabia, the service is approved for aviation and maritime use.

This marks a new era of satellite internet in the MENA region and South Asia.
